Decidedly Wrong Track

One of the atrocities of the modern so called liberated intelligentsia is  they they have tried and succeeded to a very large extent to put man and woman in, not a co-operative, but competitive mode. When most of the world is fed up with the bad consequences of materialism there are still some people who are just discovering it and falling into the ditch head long. Look at this piece in Hindu. To quote:
With the burden of domestic work on their shoulders, women spend more time doing unpaid work than men around the world…
 So remember when your mommy was breast feeding you she was doing unpaid work. When your dad brought you candies did you pay him buster? Gosh! You subjected your father to unpaid work.

Let us try to get cooled a bit. Take an Aligarian example. The graduate student was running high fever. The paper was two days later. Course was delayed and thus the notes of quantum mechanics were not complete. Teacher came to know of the situation. He got down to brass tacks. In a day and the subsequent  night the missing notes were completed and delivered to the student. Of course this will happen for a good student only. Not for any T, D or H. Now was this teacher doing unpaid work or not? Let us muster all the nice people against this student who exploited his teacher and take out a procession, dharna, memorendum, hum se jo takrayega ....

The teacher was Professor Muhammed Zillur Rehman Khan Sahab who had already served as the Head (not the Chairman) of Physics Department, Dean Faculty of Science and later the Officiating Vice Chancellor. He also had the honour of refusing the Vice Chancellorship. He is the one who made the memorable statement in the context of this refusal:
The best honour a physicist can have is to be a professor of physics and I had that, I do not want to be a Vice Chancellor.
 The quotation is verbal. People with a flair for verbatim records have to find their fodder some where else.

When will we get out of the western web of deception?
